Dance Teacher Web is proud to present a series of how to teaching videos with American Ballet Principal Devon Teuscher. Each month a new video will be presented!. This class will give teachers the tools to teach ballet variations to different levels of dancers. It will cover how to choose the right variations for the appropriate age and ability levels. It will provide sample variations for various levels. It will also teach how to make modifications on variations for different levels and ages.
Regardless of level, every classical class starts with a plie in first position and this workshop looks at the importance of base technique in its purest form. Let's not get caught up in choreography but instead remember the essence of classical ballet and the importance of inclusion of those basic exercises that train, shape and define our dancers. Don't just teach - inspire.

Preparing for an unset ballet class can be a LOT of work depending on the level of ballet. Teaching an unset class that challenges your dancers’ musicality and understanding of music and rhythm is not for the musically uncertain! This short but intense 1 hour presentation is going to dive into using the ‘and’, or NOT using it, in different music types throughout a ballet class. This is a HUGE topic since many music types, both duple and triple meter, have an anacrusis! We’re going to go through a typical class and discuss the impact of using this fantastic rhythm feature! (I’ll be there with keys so we can make sure you have the chance to hear it!) We might even create some exercises and practice using it (time dependent)!

The session highlights the importance of culture, branding, and communication in student enrollment and retention for dance studios. Personal experiences from a 44-year business journey illustrate how core values shape success. The discussion includes strategies for parental involvement, behavior management, and staff training. A Studio Success Blueprint is introduced to improve management and revenue growth, with a focus on implementing changes gradually for effective transitions.
Organizing studio seasons with spreadsheets enhances lesson planning and progress tracking. Visual tools simplify access to schedules, while monthly activity tracking allows for necessary adjustments. Managing tuition payments involves prorating fees based on lesson weeks. Effective office task management prevents last-minute stress, and planning events like Family Appreciation Week requires ordering supplies and creating promotional materials. Clear communication and a focused social media strategy engage families and promote events.
